So I'm off to donate platelets on Friday. I do this because, well mainly because my father had cancer and from that experience I learned how desperately cancer patients need platelets (which are these little things in your blood that help it coagulate). It's not the most fun I've ever had, and it takes about 3 hours when all is said and done, but its so worth it. In case you're interested, you can visit this site to learn more. Not everyone can donate, so its that much more important that if you can, you try.

I've officially stepped off of my soap box for the day.
